Ezekiel 21:15-17
Young's Literal Translation
15 To melt the heart, and to multiply the ruins, By all their gates I have set the point of a sword. Ah, it is made for brightness, Wrapt up for slaughter.
16 Take possession of the right, place thyself at the left, Whither thy face is appointed.
17 And I also, I smite My hand on my hand, And have caused My fury to rest; I, Jehovah, have spoken.'

Ezekiel 21:15-17
New International Version
15 So that hearts may melt with fear(A)
and the fallen be many,
I have stationed the sword for slaughter[a]
at all their gates.
Look! It is forged to strike like lightning,
it is grasped for slaughter.(B)
16 Slash to the right, you sword,
then to the left,
wherever your blade is turned.
17 I too will strike my hands(C) together,
and my wrath(D) will subside.
I the Lord have spoken.(E)”
